One Room Challenge | SP 2021 | Wk 5

This week things are really happening.

The landscapers tore out the grass and dug out enough dirt for a 2-tiered step into the dining room. Now we have a gravel pit instead of a mud pit.

Yes, it looks as bad as it sounds (see below).

On a good note, this gave me time over the weekend to plant my window boxes and hanging planters and make ALL THE MESS I wanted without having to clean up the soil.

And since we had some major moss growing on the fence, which we stained 3 years ago, I decided to go ahead and re-stain that this weekend too while we’re at it.

And I finally found my stepping stones; not the round ones I had hoped for, but I think they’re not too shabby during the COVID-driven materials scarcity.

One Room Challenge | SP 2021 | Wk 4

What?! Its Week 4 of the One Room Challenge already?

On a good note, FINALLY there’s some movement.

There’s been A LOT of garden clearing happening to prepare for the landscapers, who are arriving tomorrow. 

And my outdoor fabric from My Fabrics (to make new covers for to this thrifted and upcycled seating situation from Gumtree ) is on its way from Germany. Just feast your eyes on the pattern and color joy, will you! It even has the illusion of texture to add some more depth to it.

Although, due to Brexit, we now have new shipping rules to contend with. I had to order my 10 meters of fabric in two parts (WTH?!) because of the exorbitant shipping costs to EU vendors, which translates to higher shipping costs for UK residents. Thanks Brexit!
